Sound asleep, but lay him down and he woke up!

Trains are so exciting when you are 2!

Pleased I got the reflection in the window.

Page 10, my eyes, seen in lot over the past 60 years, have journalled some of these things! they are the windows to my world.











Page 11, surely some nuts in this family! Journalling hidden under pic!











Page 12, so many little delights in my life! Again some journalling hidden in folder.









Page 13, we all have doubts, and deal with them in different ways! Pic of dgs1, at his age do they have doubts?









I find I am now becoming more personal in my interpretations of the prompts, it is certainly a journey!

Love this pic of dd1, long story as to why it is surrounded by snowflakes, thought it just needed scrapping in a simple way!

365 Challenge



Day 7 Smiling at past perils, sorry about the gruesome pic of dh scar after he had brain tumour removed. Found this far more traumatic than when I had cancer as it was out of my control.











Day 8, being a redhead my colour choices were always a bit limited! Edited pic to show a world with little colour and journalled about the perfection of nature's colours.








Day 9 How I wish I was more impulsive and did silly things like when I was young. Maybe I am now too old! But are we ever too old? Pic shows dd1 being silly at the age of 31.


Two more 6x6 lo's for my sister,
pics of her grandchildren in Oz.

Day 6 for the 365 challenge, all about hands! Mine have been active for a long time and show signs of wear! One journalling says about my wedding ring which I haven't taken off since the day dh put it on my finger. The pic also shows I wear my mum's wedding ring just for sentimental reasons!


Picture taken when my late FIL left one job having been promoted to another, way back in 1970. Has the typicl civil servant look, hence the colours and simple lo.

Simple lo of my sister when we met up for a day last week.























Pages 4&5 for my 365 challenge on UKS. On the second lo my journalling is inside the pocket. I don't like my handwriting very much so am trying to put some on each day.
Couldn't resist this pic of dgs1 having enjoyed his smoothie after a shopping trip!

365 Challenge


















Pages done for the 365 challenge on uks, each day we are given a prompt and then interpret it our own way. I have chosen to start with 6x6 lo's but may add different sizes or shapes along the way!



New grandson on Christmas Eve, totally unimpressed!

Lots of playtime today



Christmas pics from Australia!





















Found these pics on dh's computer, taken a few years back of dd1 and her friends. I have left the journalling for her to fill in as I don't know the details.

New Year 2008


LO for weekly challenge on UKS. We completely forgot to take any pics during the evening, so next morning I found the champagne cork and took this pic! There is hidden journalling under the pic.

This is the front cover of my Christmas Journal, and a pic of it open. I will upload further pictures of the pages as I have resized them later. I really enjoyed making this.








Latest pics of niece's children taken just before Christmas.

A lovely pic of dgs1 but it was blurred so I converted it to greyscale and decided on simple but dramatic!
